Mission

Firefly Café & Bakery is social enterprise, owned and operated by the Winchester based non-profit organization NW Works, Inc.

NW Works has served the Northern Shenandoah Valley for 45 years, providing vocational training and employment opportunities to over 200 individuals with disabilities annually. Our mission at NW Works is to enable adults with disabilities to select, secure, and sustain valued employment and training.

Firefly Café & Bakery is a social enterprise, meaning we measure success both economically and communally. First and foremost we are a fast-casual café, offering gourmet locally sourced fare, served fresh daily with impeccable customer service, in our warm and inviting atmosphere. Our Creekside Station operation also serves as a training facility. At Firefly we teach our clients to thrive in a fast-paced, real world food service environment, providing them the transferable skills and experience that will allow them to succeed at similar for-profit restaurants, cafés and eateries in our community.
